The authors conclude that this method should not be used in isolation but as an adjunct with other age estimation methods.Ĭonstitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 - Chapter 2: Bill of Rights Important aspects regarding the rationality and application of Roberts’ method are discussed. The findings of this validation study were in agreement with this method which showed that individuals with Demirjian stage H left molars and category RCW-C were indeed over the 18-year threshold. This study aimed to validate this human biological growth marker in both black and white populations living in South Africa according to Roberts’ method. suggested that the relative width of the distal root canals (RCW) of the lower left permanent molars (Fédération Dentaire Internationale notation 36, 37 and 38) as visualised on dental panoramic radiographs can be used as such a growth marker. Human biological growth markers are accepted indicators of a subject attaining the age of 18 years. The third molar is an important indicator in determining the 18-year threshold. The age of 18 years is therefore significant for legal purposes in South Africa. The South African Bill of Rights and the Children’s Act define a ‘child’ as a person under the age of 18 years.
